The Rock
hey guys,
I watched what I consider this to be classic movie again today, "The Rock."
You may have heard of it, or seen it. It is a movie about alcatraz prison, and a "terrorist attack."
And it got me thinking as I watched... from start to finish this movie is about a power struggle.
-On one side you have the "terrorists" - a group of ex marines, and army with weapons and missiles trying to get what they want, or will blow up innoccent citizens
-On the other side is the Governement of the USA - never giving into the terrorist, and trying to maintain "Control" of the situation
-The third party in this movie is a bio chemist, being minipulated and controled by the Government who is told he is helping and is needed for the good of the nation
-The fourth party in this movie is a Prisoner, who is also being used by the governemtn to try and stop the terriorist... execpt this isnt your ordanary prisoner, this guy was the only guy to escape from alcatraz prison, and is so hated by the US government, that he falls under the "Doesnt even exist" catigory.
Listne I am not very good at desribing movies, but if you like action movies, this is a must see. Watch and enjoy the power struggle
The Rock - With nik Cage, Sean Connery Ed Harris.. great movie!

Control is an illusion
hey guys,
So when we first started talking about control in class I thought I knew all about it.
I thought about minipulation, suduction and coercion.
I thought about when a parent trys to control their child. When a girlfriend trys to control a boyfriend (usually succeeding), but as the course went on I became aware that control doesnt exist, and that we are in constaint pursuit of something that can never be attand.
I started to look and see how in so many cases control was the desired outcome that would never be achieved.
Not a word of a lie, when I realized that control was an illusion, a quote from a movie I saw 10 years ago popped into my head. Now that i think about it, this is by far the best control quote I know of.
Dr. Claire Lewicki to Cole Trickel: "Control is an illusion, you infantile egomaniac. Nobody knows what's gonna happen next: not on a freeway, not in an airplane, not inside our own bodies and certainly not on a racetrack with 40 other infantile egomaniacs."
Days of Thunder - 1990, before Tom Cruz ego got to big lol.
Toughts on control?

Last question
This is my last question of the course:
Who has more power, the government or the richest men in the world?
I would say the richest men because they do what they want, they have monopolies and the government allows it and also they give them money before and after the elections.
What do you think Less?

Influence people in 5minutes
This video explains us how to win friends in 5 minutes or less. He uses the methods of Dale Carnegie. He mentioned that you just need to do 9 steps before you act with a person and it will help you to win friends.
I personally agree with some of the steps, specially with the first step. (don´t complain)

my favorites phrases
I have been looking for the most popular phrases about power. These are my favorites:
Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power. (Lao Tzu)
Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality. (Edgar Allan Poe)
The power of man has grown in every sphere, except over himself. (Winston Churchill)
Power is of two kinds. one is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment. (Mohandas Gandhi)
And my favorite one is: It is more agreeable to have power to give than receive. ( Winston Churchill)

the power of words
This is an advertisement that the actor Morgan Freeman made a couple of years ago, and it explains the power that a word could have. Sometimes they hurt us, sometimes makes us feel better but actually the purpose of this advertisement is to get freedom and demand justice.

The Wheel of Power and Control
This is an interesting chart it is intended more for the ladies but all should look at the wheel of Power and Control.If either party in a relationship are experiencing any of these behaviors then its time to step back and take a good look at the situation and maybe change is in order.
